Wills

Making a Will clarifies your wishes and enables you to give your loved ones’ financial protection after you die. It is one of the most important legal documents you will ever sign as it allows you to decide who has responsibility for any children under 18 and who receives your money, property, cars, pets and all your other belongings on death.

Although it is possible to write a Will without the help of a solicitor, the Law Society advise against this. Without the help of an expert there is a very real risk that the Will may contain an error or be invalid, which could cause problems for your beneficiaries after your death.

A solicitor will also be able to advise you on how to maximise the various tax reliefs available to you on your death and how best to deal with more complex circumstances such as shares in private family companies, questions of domicile and assets held in different jurisdictions..
